Experience Sharing from a Falun Gong Practitioner in the Xingtai Detention Center
By a Falun Gong practitioner in Xingtai, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I'm very pleased to be able to share my cultivation
experiences with fellow practitioners, particularly under these conditions. The
care and encouragement we give each other among practitioners has fully
demonstrated the power of being one body in the face of the persecution. This
has made all the evildoers tremble with fear. Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts
during the severe persecution can make all evil factors crumble. Countless gods
are watching. Sooner or later, all beings that have participated in the
persecution will bear the consequences of their own conduct. The future of Dafa
disciples the Fa has created will definitely be shining brightly. No matter what kind of evil we are facing, and regardless of how adverse the
situation we are in, and how severe the persecution we are suffering, we must
keep clearheaded and face all this tribulation with a rational mind. Whether we
are able to do this in perilous situations depends on our understanding of the
role we play in assisting Master in the Fa-rectification, and on our
understanding of the historic mission we Dafa disciples have to fulfil. It also
depends on our great responsibility to all living beings, as well as on our
understanding of the Fa-rectification and the seriousness of cultivation during
Fa-rectification. Once Dafa disciples understand these things, then, no matter
where or at which level they are, nothing unrighteous would dare to touch them. I often ask myself what does it mean for Dafa disciples to be clearheaded?
What does it mean for a Dafa disciple to be rational? If we fail to act with a
clear head and from a rational mindset, then, in a ruthless environment we might
be taken advantage of or used by the evildoers or evil in another dimensions.
This is extremely dangerous, because it is no longer a simple matter of
individual cultivation. While I was illegally incarcerated in the Luquan Detention Center, the
persecution special case team assembled many collaborators (1) to forcibly
brainwash me for almost two months. The methods they used, besides lies and
twisted logic, were to try and find anything you said while talking to them to
use against you, and they would magnify and distort what you said in the attempt
to confuse your mind. Even under those circumstances I did not fear them because
as Master had said, "...just by having your heart unaffected you will be
able to handle all situations" ("Eliminate Your
Last Attachment(s)." Essentials for Further Advancement II) I
dealt with their non-stop brainwashing barrages by being silent. Then I would
refute their fallacies with their own contradictory arguments. This scared them
considerably and in the end they left, feeling defeated. The team handling my
case also brought someone named Qi, a brainwashing expert from a prison under
the personal administration of the Ministry of Justice to brainwash me. Like the
others, he left defeated after 50 days of unsuccessful efforts. My most important conviction at that time was to always hold a firm belief in
Master and in Dafa, have a firm faith in our cultivation and take a righteous
attitude toward our own cultivation; any slight deviation would make for
irretrievable loss. This is not a simply personal matter. From what Qi said I
got to know that the "610 Office" and the Ministry of Justice have
worked out a whole set of tactics for brainwashing Falun Gong practitioners, and
they zero in on the loopholes in practitioners' cultivation. That is why I
decided the best way to deal with their brainwashing efforts was "keeping
silent." The team assigned to my case did not give up. They sentenced me to
forced labor, hoping that the dark and miserable labor camp would help them
achieve their goal to brainwash me. Needless to say, they failed again! The
collaborators "talked" with me for 42 days around the clock. Again I
used the most effective method to deal with them - keeping silent, and I
neither listened to nor believed anything they said. These are only some of the specific methods I used during their brainwashing
attempts. I feel that I should tell other practitioners about it, because many
of us may face these brainwashing techniques. Of course, a cultivator should not
only have a strong will, but also a clear understanding of the implications of
Fa-rectification and of Master's teachings of the Fa--against which we should
check ourselves in any perilous environment. I firmly believe that in the near
future, with the Fa-rectification current surging more and more towards the
surface, the evildoers are already no more than falling leaves in the autumn
wind. The magnificent event "One day the Fa will become right and be spread
in all temples" ("A Visit to Hanging-in-the-Air Temple" from
Hongyin, unofficial translation) won't be too far away. Right now, though,
we must take a proper stance and face all that is before us with righteous
thoughts, so that we will be able to fulfil our pre-historic pledges and live up
to the great trust the universe and Master's expectations have placed in us. I
believe my fellow practitioners will do well. There is so much I would like to say, but I can only talk about the key
points. I'm really happy to share my thoughts with fellow practitioners, because
while we are encouraging each other, we can also see where we fall short. I saw
some fellow practitioners during the court's trial opening session. They told me
that people outside are paying close attention to us and they encouraged us, to
firmly keep our righteous thoughts. Regarding the issues fellow practitioners raised about practitioners'
gradually regressing during their long period of illegal incarceration and other
interference, I think these issues are very easy to solve. The key is constantly
reciting and listening to Master's teachings and recalling Master's Fa lectures!
I believe that any form of interference has something to do with our own
problems. After all, hidden behind them are high-level beings. Still, they
cannot go too far during the Fa-rectification. On the human side, as long as we
firmly believe in Master and in Dafa, there is nothing much they can do.
Furthermore, the interference is nothing in comparison, because we have come
from far-away celestial bodies for the Fa-rectification. Even the wait of
thousands of years could not make our original determination and aspirations
vanish! Ultimately, interference cannot shake Dafa disciples' powerful righteous
thoughts, and they cannot fundamentally alter anything. The above are some of my personal understandings; please point out anything
improper. Note:
